Investment in African Esports Media Infrastructure

TLDR

• For years, the African esports conversation has been dominated by one objective: getting African players onto the global stage.
• The future of African esports will not be built exclusively in Riyadh, Tokyo, Paris or Los Angeles.
• The African esports industry should embrace regionalisation as a growth strategy rather than treating localisation as a secondary objective.
• In North Africa, Morocco’s hosting of FIFAe events and its continued investment in competitive gaming demonstrate how national commitment can transform a country into a continental esports hub.
• African esports can create its own iconic rivalries between Lagos and Accra, Nairobi and Kampala, Johannesburg and Cape Town, Cairo and Casablanca.
